MINI-ENGINE ROCKET
FLYING YOUR ROCKET
Choose a large field (500 ft. [152 m] square) free of dry weeds and brown grass.
The larger the launch area, the better your chance of recovering your rocket.
Football fields and playgrounds are great. Launch only with little or no wind and
good visibility.
Always follow the National Association of Rocketry (NAR) SAFETY CODE.
MISFIRES
TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE CONTROLLER. WAIT ONE MINUTE BEFORE
GOING NEAR THE ROCKET! Take the plug and igniter out of the engine. If the
igniter has burned, it worked but did not ignite the engine because it was not
touching the propellant inside the engine. Put a new igniter all the way inside the
engine without bending it. Push the plug in place. Repeat the steps under
Countdown and Launch.
